    Headphones with weaknesses

    First of all, about the headphones themselves: they make a solid impression and look very well made.
    I think the idea of attaching the ear cups magnetically is great. They are easy to remove and hold very well.
    The design     of the headphones is a matter of taste, but I like it. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the golden ones, but they will definitely look good.

    Now for the Bluetooth audio
    Sound via Bluetooth without NC is great, but a bit bass-heavy. According to test reports, the headphones should be "neutral", but I can't confirm that. Compared to my studio monitors and the DT 990 Pro, they have too much bass. However, this is not negative, as the bass is not over-present (apart from the cable via an audio interface).
    Sound with NC:
    Suddenly the bass is also balanced. Personally, I still don't like NC very much (except on a plane or in the office), as it somehow creates a "pressure". The NC function itself does what it should, the background noise is nicely reduced. The setting option via the app is also great.

    When the headphones are connected via cable, you also hear a constant noise, which I didn't expect and which none of my other devices have. You don't hear this via Bluetooth because the headphones go into standby mode as soon as you pause them. The bass is also completely exaggerated with a cable, which has nothing to do with "neutral".

    For the primary purpose of wireless audio, the headphones are quite nice, with cable on the PC, I will only use them when I want a lot of bass.

    The sensor on the headphones is very poor. It stops the music again and again and also disconnects the connection to the phone sporadically. With the sensor deactivated, the connection works fine. The only option is to deactivate the sensor via the app.

    The stars are deducted for the problems with the sensor and the noise via cable.

    Good design

    Choose them for the design. Happy with it.

    I'm still unsure if they embed microphones, tried it on my phone and computer and didn't work. Manual says "can be used for wireless telephony." I have to try again.
